Apple Seeks Retrial for its Most Recent Court Battle With Samsung

Apple has filed new court documents in California requesting not only a retail of its latest victory over Samsung, but is also seeking a permeant injunction on sales of Samsung’s infringing products in the U.S.

On Friday Apple filed new legal documents that request that all of the Samsung devices found to infringe its patents in the second California trial should be banned from sale as they could do “irreparable harm” to Apple that no monetary ruling could repair. Apple asked for a similar ruling following its first win against Samsung in front of Judge Lucy Koh, but she declined to put the ban in place.

Also in its 54-page filing, Apple entered a motion for judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) in regards that it feels more of Samsung’s products infringe its patents. Should that not be granted it requested a retrial. The Cupertino company feels that Samsung’s “improper and prejudicial statements to the jury” would qualify for such an action.

Samsung also filed a JMOL as well on Friday, but those documents are currently sealed and it is unknown what its claims currently are.
